--------------ORIGINAL RELEASE----------------

Hit and Run Injury Accident

Boise Police are seeking assistance with a late night hit and run accident involving a car and a motorcycle.

Police report that about 11:02 pm a car drove left of the center at the intersection of Bergeson and Federal way. The car struck a motorcyclist in the turn lane. The 27 year old male rider was thrown from the motorcycle. The 2006 Honda motorcycle was a total loss. The car stopped briefly, then fled the scene. The car was described as a late model Tan or Silver Subaru Outback. There was definite damage to the front passenger side of the vehicle. Parts of the car were found at the accident scene.

The motorcycle rider was transported to a local hospital with non life threatening injuries. He was wearing a helmet at the time of the accident and police feel that the helmet greatly reduced his injuries and quite possibly saved the riders life.

"We are very fortunate that this was not a fatality." said Boise Police Lieutenant Alan Cavener. The driver of the car could face leaving the scene of an injury accident which is a felony. Anyone with information about the vehicle or the driver is encouraged to call crime stoppers at 343-COPS.
